Backward search should always work, even if you don't add the modeline. </p> </section> <section id="backward-search"> <title>Backward search: from PDF to TeX (from the <app>document viewer</app> to <app>gedit</app>)</title> <p> Backward search allows you to click on a specific line in the PDF file, and jump to the associated line in the TeX source code. </p> <p> You can perform a backward search by pressing <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key>left click</keyseq> in the <app>document viewer</app>.
